nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailjet
nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailgun
nodebb-plugin-emailer-sendgrid

[charles]

@pichalite Will look into those, thanks!

[exodo]

http://sparkpost.com is the recommended alternative by mandrill. Working good and limits are high

[pichalite]

@exodo is there a nodebb plugin for that?

no, we use emailer local with no config at all and use postfix to send email to mandrill / sparkpost

yeah 100k emails a month is nice
didnt test on 1.0, only 0.7 but it should work

[pichalite]

there is a nodebb plugin for sparkpost published on npm. it's compatibility is set to v0.9.x though. not sure if it works with v1.x.x

why is the image in the link preview so big?

[arasbm]

mailjet, mailgun and sendgid all seem to have a free plan for up to a certain limit of emails per month. Is there a limit on how long you can use their free plan?

[pichalite]

@arasbm until they get rid of their free plan like mandrill did.
